FreedomCon 2025: Voices of Freedom

Authors across time have challenged us to look back at history and learn what we missed, to relearn what we had not fully understood, to reexamine in more detail new information, to consider new interpretations of old stories, to understand the past and present from new voices uncovered and new voices reclaimed. In their gift for writing authors offer to us words, feelings, stories, descriptions in words captured in print and preserved for generations. Their words become our eyes viewing into another world that compels, elucidates, clarifies, that expands our understandings and our horizons. Their words call us to look and listen again, and to be changed. Join with UREC as we engage with a selection of authors who gift us with their works of art. Virtual workshop presentations via Zoom will be held on the 4th Saturday of each month from 2pm-3pm. Presentations are recorded and made available to registrants for one month after the presentation. Registration cost is $12 per session. Members can include a 10% member discount off the total registration.

Nelson (10/25) Cinderella of Belvoir: A Dream of Freedom On the Underground Railroad by Dionne Patterson Complete Information and Registration is available by clicking HERE
